Scientists are recording alarming statistics – including the lowest number of mother-calf pairs ever observed in key breeding lagoons – raising concerns about a potential repeat of the 2019 die-off, which claimed hundreds of whales. The declining population was first noticed in Mexico’s shallow, protected lagoons where the mammals traditionally congregate to calve, nurse, and breed.

Colossal Biosciences, a Dallas-based biotech company, has claimed to have resurrected the dire wolf, to create the “world’s first successfully de-extincted animal.” Scientists created three dire wolf pups by using gene-editing technology to alter the genes of the dire wolf's closest living relative, the gray wolf. The result is essentially a hybrid species similar in appearance to its extinct forerunner.
